Hi,
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation. You need to have an MRI done.
If it shows your meniscus tear is mild (Grade 1 or 2), you may not need surgery. If it is Grade 3, your doctor will probably might do meniscus repair or meniscectomy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
